Method and Apparatus for Operating Configuration Adaptation for Interruption of Signal Transmission

1. A method in a node in a wireless communication network comprising: obtaining timing information for an external wireless system whose operation is associated with intermittent interruptions of a radio link of the wireless communication network; determining an interruption timing from the timing information, wherein the interruption timing is referenced to a radio link timing and indicates an impending interruption of the radio link; and adapting, with respect to one or more wireless devices in communication with the wireless communication network, user scheduling operations at the node according to the interruption timing, to avoid scheduling transmissions to or from the one or more wireless devices during the impending interruption.

2. A node configured for operation in a wireless communication network, the node comprising communication interface circuitry configured for communicating with one or more other nodes in the wireless communication network and one or more wireless devices in communication with the wireless communication network; and processing circuitry operatively associated with the communication interface circuitry and configured to: obtain timing information for an external wireless system whose operation is associated with intermittent interruptions of a radio link of the wireless communication network; determine an interruption timing from the timing information, wherein the interruption timing is referenced to a radio link timing and indicates an impending interruption of the radio link; and adapt, with respect to the one or more wireless devices in communication with the wireless communication network, user scheduling operations at the node according to the interruption timing, to avoid scheduling transmissions to or from the one or more wireless devices during the impending interruption.
